Levelling up as a software developer by doing nothing

I've noticed a strange thing. If I stop programming with a given language for a while - say a period of weeks or months - when I come back to it I often feel like I have "levelled up". I feel like understanding has fallen into place and fundamental concepts and learning have become embedded in my mind. This puts me in a mental state whereby I am able to learn a whole bunch of new concepts that I would not have grasped earlier.
